  Speaker 1: All systems gone clear the lift.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Good morning, and welcome to this weekend's NASCAR quick hit.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Here for ship at Nation, I am Eric also known
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: as the Game on Discord, and this morning we are
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: going to be discussing the Enjoy Illinois three hundred, which
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is taking place at the Worldwide Technology Raceway.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Strange name for a racetrack.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But before we go ahead and start breaking down this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: more the today's slate, let me of course mention us
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: here at Chipinnation dot com, your one stop shop for
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: all things dfs and folks.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Today is a.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Big day because of course, the NASCAR Cup Series is
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: racing a gateway no. The NFL regular season kicks off today,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and of course we at shippin Nation are loaded and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: are ready to go hunting for bear. Of course, you're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a one stop shop for all things DFS. We have
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the Stone Expert slate plans, the cores, player pools, fantastic
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Discord communities for YouTube shows, education courses, you name it,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we have it at Shipping Nation. And week one of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the NFL kicks off today. So you haven't joined us yet,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: kind of thank you owe it to yourself to do so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And if you're looking for a nice little afternoon sweat
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to get you going between football games today. Give us
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that NASCAR shot because we the green flag drops right
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: around three o'clock Eastern time, which is right between those
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: one o'clock and four o'clock and fl games. And on
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a side note, I gotta see when the forty nine
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: ers play, because I have no idea.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get back to my.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Spiel here in my little script that I wrote before
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we started. We are back for round number two of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the NASCAR Cupturers Playoffs, and this weekend there are roughly
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty eight dominator points up for grabs,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and we will want to target those points. I will
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be using at least two dominators per lineup, and probably
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: only two dominators per lineup because we have most of
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: our potential dominator plays started up towards the front of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the field, and most of them this weekend are the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: heavy hitters, so I'm probably only going to be using
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: two domps per lineup. But if you fancy yourself a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: cheap potential dominator, then by all means, try to sneak
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: three dominators in per lineup. First things first, I wanted
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to touch on that there was a good Year tire test
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that occurred here at world Wide Technology Raceway about three
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: months ago. And the drivers who took place in that
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Goodyear Tire test are Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski, and John
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Hunter Nimachak. So Brad Kezilowski, John Hunter, Nimachek and Kyle
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Larson all took place in a good Year tire test
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: three months ago here at Worldwide Race Worldwide Technology Raceway.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: That's a terrible name for a racetrack.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: They got to change it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: We have seen in the past drivers who have participated
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in said Goodyear tire tests reap the benefits by performing
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: extremely well and said follow up race. I have to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: assume that that will be the case this time around
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Of course, we have Kyle Larson.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Has he been as dominant as he has been in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the past lately, No, but he is absolutely still a dominator.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And mind you, he's the cheapest potential dominator in my
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: opinion this week, which is a wild stat to say.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Brad Kesilowski, he's one of our top place differential plays.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Would it surprise any of us to see Brad kay
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: slowly work his way through the field on a show
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on a smallish, flatish track. Absolutely not, and John Hunter
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Nimachrek has been performing quite well recently. I am a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: John Hunter hater. I shouldn't say I'm a John Hunter hater,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: but I don't often include John Hunter in my playerpool
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: because he hasn't been having the best of luck, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that has not been the case recently. John Hunter has
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: been having some pretty solid runs and now he has
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a good retire test under his belt at this racetrack.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Gotta thank him, and frankly, Legacy at a Hole will
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: benefit from that tire test. So Larson, Kezilowski, Nievachek all
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: participated in tire tests three months ago. As of practice
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this weekend, nothing happened and it was uneventful. It was boring,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: no incidences, no spinouts, no crashes, nothing, just was a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: very uneventful practice session. All of the playoff drivers were
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in Group B. All the playoff drivers were in Group B,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and I have no issue using practice data to help
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: craft your player pool this weekend. I would recommend, though,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to stick with the twenty twenty five and thirty lap
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: averages because long run is king, and I would only
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: compare those in Group A to Group A and those
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in Group B to Group B in my opinion, crazy
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to say Zane Smith was a Group A standout all
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: throughout every category. They didn't run a twenty twenty five
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: thirty lap average. He could be a sneaky cheap play
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: who stays up front. And Chris Busher was also a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Group A not stand out, but he qualified well, So
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind taking a chance on those drivers, but
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I would really again stick to comparing b's to BS
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and a's to If you will be using practice to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: help craft your playerpool this week, and now let me
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: over to my notes here and make sure I didn't
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: miss anything.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna go through a very quick starting lineup
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Rundown because, like I said, the NFL is here, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: no one cares about NASCAR anymore, especially DraftKings. Why those
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: contests have to get small DraftKings? Why US race fans
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: are gamblers too. Starting on the pole, we have Denny Hamlin.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: On the outside pole, we have Kyle Larson, Danny probably
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: your top dominit or play. The fact that Larson is
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: sub ten grand blows my mind. And he has a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: tire test here so I know he hasn't been performing
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: well recently, but I have no issues of taking a
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: shot on Larson today. Chase Briscoe is starting third. He
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: waxed that ass last weekend. Yeah, Charlington, right, the days
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of thinking Chase Briscoe can't hang anymore or done. He
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is a potential dominator threat every time he starts up front.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Ross Chastain got really nothing to say. Blaney is a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: short flat god and Gateway is a short flat racetrack,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: so I love Blaney today. Willie b and he was
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: kind of unimpressive in Darlington, so I got much for
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: him there. Reddick, no problem taking a chance on Reddick,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: although I don't like him as as much as I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: like some of the other potential or higher end drivers.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Christopher Bell, I love Christmas for Belle. He's a short
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: flat god. That's what this is. Love me some ce Bell.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Then we're in.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: A lot of GPP plays, so frankly, in my opinion,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you could probably group the top eight in your dominator
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: pool and grab two to three of those top eight and.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Be good for your potential dominators.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, I'm gonna grab two, and as you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: can see here, I have the five I think are
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: your best potential dominators marked as such, but really you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: could probably get away with anybody there in the top
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: eight as your potential dominator plays. Then we have Sindrick,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Zaant Smith, Sindrick, I'll take a chancell On. I have
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: no problem taking a chance on Sindrick Zayt Smith. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: just I don't think I can get to him starting
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a tenth.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Chris Buscher, Sure love me some Buscher. Josh Berry. I'll
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: take a shot on Josh Berry. His his power rankings
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: don't look the best right now, but still, this is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: cond track he should excel at.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So GPPs, I'll take a chance on Josh Bay Logano,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Sure absolutely.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: This is the kind of track and kind of race
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: that Logano is sneaky good in. I just wish he
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: wasn't nine K, but he is a playoff driver, so
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't be too surprised. Bubba Wallace hottest driver in
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: NASCAR right now, and that's not even me being remotely facetious.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: He's on fire. I would put him in the playerpool
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: just for how on fire he is. Like, really, he's
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: excellent lately? Is this his kind of racetrack? No?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Has he been awesome lately. Yes, so maybe today's the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: day he puts it all together. Austin Dylon. Yeah, Eric Jones,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: his teammate ran the tire test, so I'll take that shot.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, I lost my train of thought because
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: my family is wrestling upstairs, my wife and my child,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and didn't know what was going on. Whereas I hear
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Eric Jones, I'll take a shot on Air Jones because
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: John Hunter ran.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: The tire test. So I will absolutely take a shot
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: on Jones because John Hunter ran the tire test. The Dinger.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Sure has he been great here? No? Has this been
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: his type of racetrack? No?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Has he been doing sneakily good all season? Yeah, I'll
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: take a shot on the Dinger SVG.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: That's a no for me.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Dog unless he was making left and rights Chase Elliott,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: he will be chalky today. He's a great place differential play.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: He was great in long run practice, s beads. He
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: will be chalky today, but he has a good play.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: John Hunter, as I said earlier, took place on the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: tire test. I love me some John Hunter today. Ty
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Gibbs has been doing very well. He was fast in
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: every asset of practice. Give me some Ty Gibbs, Kyle Busch.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: He did excellent. He's excellent track ranking here, but he
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: had terrible practice and he was not at all happy
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: with his car after practice. Last week turned out well
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: from a potential bad start. Can he do the same
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: this week? Remain to be seen. Brad Keselowski love it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I'll take a shot on bad Brad Foreshore. Noah Gregson
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and he looked good in practice, but he's been terrible
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: all season.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's a no for me. Alex Bowman.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: He we we have him projected as possibly chalky right
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: now because he's a Hendrick driver seventy three dollars seventy three.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I wish he was seventy three dollars seventy.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Three hundred dollars Hendrick Motorsports playoff driver, et cetera, et cetera.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He has been boom or bust all season, more of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: bust than boom lately. So I will have Bowman in
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: my lineups, but I ain't gonna go over the moon
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: with him. Sworez Yeah, probably not. Host of Are I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: love host of AR today? I'm surprised is only seven
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: grand I thought he would be a little more expensive
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: than that. Uh not the best track rank, but he's
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a rookie, so that stuff will come up as he
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: gets more races.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Ran love me some post of R today. Michael McDowell.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take a shot super cheap, right, super cheap
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: for being in the same equipment as host of R
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: and being one spot further than Houst of AR and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: having very similar.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Practice speeds the host of AR. Yeah, why wouldn't you
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: take a shot on McDowell.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Custer?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, Cole Custer next season is upgrading to Chevy Hass
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Factory team is saying bye bye to Ford and they
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: are hooking up with Hendrick Motorsports and becoming a I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: guess a satellite team to Hendrick next year. So we'll
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: see what cold Custer can do in actual good equipment
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: next season. Uh so what does that mean for today?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: That means I'm clicking him off my playerpool, not to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Cole Custer for me, Todd Gilly and the Gilly Gang.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: If you're looking for five K to spend, I would click.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I would have no issues clicking on him, but he's
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: probably not somebody I'm seeking out.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Justin Haley is a no for me. Dog.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Ryan Priest will be the chalkiest of all chalks, starting
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: deep at the field. Priest has been excellent all season.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: His power rankings don't look the best, but that doesn't
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: matter because he's proven time and time and time and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: time again.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: RFK and Priest fits.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Together just like peys and carrots, so I have no
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: problems taking a chance on Priese. And then these last four,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Herfs is going to be a no
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: for me. Ricky Stenhouse is probably going to be a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: no for me.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Ty Dillon.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: If I need a bottom of the barrel driver, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: would probably take Tydlan over most anybody else in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: bottom of the barrel, but I probably won't get that
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: far bottom of the barrel.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And Cody wear is a no for me. Dog.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So that is your very quick rundown of today's starting lineup,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go ahead and wrap up for this
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: quick hit for the morning, because, like I said, is
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: opening kickoff of the NFL today. I am very well
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: aware that NASCAR plays second fiddle to that in DFS sports,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: so I expect my little part of the world to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: be quiet today. However, if you do have any questions
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: concerning the slate, please feel free to tag me. If
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: any drivers are making their way to the rear of
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the field, I will, as always make sure to tag
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the discord. All right, folks, good luck in all your
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: contests today, Happy opening day of the NFL.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Enjoy the race, and as always, let's.
